The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
@Rimmesfk Just seen this too 🤣🤣🤣 … the rats won’t admit it but they missed this level of excitement and class … happy H&M are doing it on their own terms … and we are still not going to let the racist media hound them …
The swivel-eyed loons in the right wing media have learned NOTHING from Jason Arday’s death. All it’s taken is for Harry and Meghan to say they’re returning to the UK (which they have every right to do) and they’ve begun sharpening their knives - ready to monetise hate. As you know, I believe the U.K. should eventually evolve away from monarchy, the institution. But while it exists - could we please remember the members of it are human.
Kid was wearing "Free Palestine shirt" while visiting the so called holucaust memorial and it triggered this Jewish woman.

Kid is a hero. No better place to wear the shirt. https://t.co/S5jbhnvGaY
We are proud to announce the laureates of the 2026 Kofi Annan Courage in Cartooning Award: Safaa Odah (Palestine, @odah_safaa ) and Jimmy "Spire" Ssentongo (Uganda, @SpireJim).
We salute the courage, dedication and resilience of these champions of freedom of speech.
My cartoons are being exhibited by the Freedom Cartoonists Foundation under the theme of ‘Cartoons for Freedom’ at the shores of Lake Geneva (Quai Wilson) alongside those of Safaa Odah, a Palestinian cartoonist, and of a few others from Europe. If you are there, pass by to check. The Exhibition will last the whole month of May.
Senegal's PM Ousmane Sonko criticised US President Donald Trump, accusing him of plunging the world into “chaos” by starting a war on Iran, and questioned whether the world is now less safe under Trump’s leadership.
If you are an educational institution with over 10,000 students, and you are being called out online, and your own thousands of students cannot even come out to defend you, that should show what those students also feel about you and the issues being raised. If the issues had no merit, and if you were good/fair to your students, they would be the first to defend you. As it appears, the suffocated students are also happy that the public is speaking out about the issues finally. You can’t attain a good name and good business by using your powers to gag customers who call upon you to be fair and accountable over issues that affect them too. Clean up.
Imagine KIU is shamelessly demanding Shs1 billion in punitive damages and a further Shs200 million fine from @SpireJim for holding the University accountable 🤔 Which kind of nonsense is this?

For those calling Joe Kent a grandstander just trying to undermine Trump, here is Kent more than 2 years ago BEFORE he got a job in the Admin warning AGAINST an Iran War. He was always right! Donald should have listened
@SpireJim Beyond excited to have collaborated with you on this book Jimmy. Your brilliant illustrations added a unique visual dimension to the cultural commentary throughout the book, bringing each anecdote to life. Thank you!!!
